Favorite Brewing Music

[dfc]

DLR, not Hagar, right?

 

[JohnTheBrewist]

It depends on my mood and who's brewing with me. If I'm by myself or with my son, it's almost always blues. But if I've got a gang over, it'll be classic rock.

 

[jheld00]

I'm all over the place with brew music I listen to Yonder Mountain String Band, Neil Young(Greendale album), STS9, Smashing Pumpkins. Just to name a few.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Last couple brewdays it's been a mix of stuff along the lines of the Paragons or Toots and the Maytals.

 

[donshizzles]

Out of courtesy I usually let anyone brewing with me pick the tunes. If I'm alone.....Pink Floyd or Foo Fighters

 

[o4_srt]

Early nineties rock. The last of the good, popular rock. Stp, Alice in chains, nirvana, soundgarden, etc.

Everything on the radio from mid nineties to today sucks.

 

[Teromous]

Just wondering what music people listen to while brewing? for me it's da blues

I do as well.

 

[hillhousesawdustco]

I've been on a Mumford & Sons kick myself

 

[ITHZ]

You should try squeezing in Billy Currington's "I'm Pretty Good at Drinking Beer".Just not for the whole 60 min boil.

 

[Beerbeque]

Yah, da blues and when the pot starts boilin,' Stevie Ray

 

[BillyBock]

Clutch. All their albums on MP3 and hit shuffle.

Clutch. All their albums on MP3 and hit shuffle.

I love when Clutch comes up on the shuffle. Also, COC, Danzig, Misfits, Butthole Surfers, Faith No More........

 

[yogensha]

My local public radio station broadcasts Car Talk and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me after the news when I typically brew on Saturday mornings. Otherwise Kink Aardschok.

 

[tchuklobrau]

Kmfdm, Einsturzende neubauten, ramstien, and korn

 

[bovineblitz]

Usually The Slackers. On vinyl, of course.

Sometimes a dubstep mix.

 

[JollyIsTheRoger]

Rage Against The Machine and Marilyn Manson all the way down to Coldplay and Old Crow Medicine Show

Personal favorite that is played every brew day is a band i saw randomly at a bar and instantly fell in love with, even though i'm not a big country/bluegrass guy

 

[40watt]

I tend to put 500GB of music on shuffle, buy I really enjoy classics like Zepplin's Houses of the Holy. If my little girl is helping, she always wants to here Nude by Radiohead and To be Young by Ryan Adams.

I also like to listen to my entire collection of Black Keys albums while brewing.

I think my next brew will get some Whitesnake.

DLR, not Hagar, right?

I don't mind some Van Hagar (I personally think Hagar is very cool) But VH was never as cool and original as when DLR was wasted with them boys! Some of the non-radio tunes are fabulous!

But I don't listen to them when I brew. I usually put in Blue Murder, Men at Work (little brewer likes it too), Led Zeppelin, Weird Al, White Lion. Some of that because those are the CDs I have in the garage. If I was smart I'd bring out a laptop and play stuff from my main computer:

Joe Satriani
Steve Vai (Passion and Warfare)
ZZ Top
Rhonda Larson (awesome flute player if you like more mellow tunes. I met her in person once)
Trans Siberian Orchestra
Ratt
Whitesnake
Here Come the Mummies
80's mix (yes, even a couple Culture Club tunes)
Queen (Night at the Opera especially)
The Darkness
Old Metallica
Iron Horse (Fade to Bluegrass)

Depends on what I'm brewing. I play heavier stuff for an IPA. I just don't want my Witbier to become angry. And some Jimi for when I brew an American Stout.

I usually wind up listening to someone playing fallout 3 or fallout new vegas in the living room. It's a Georgian colonial house,so living room/dinette/kitchen is one long room. But,if/when I can,Rammstein,KMFDM, Judas Priest,Front Line Assembly,what I call "old MTV",...I still have my "Headbanger's Ball" T shirt! I even have one of those American flag tank tops like Cheech wore during the OD-40 tour. I also like Stevie Ray,Mr Jimmi,John Lee Hooker,Howlin' Wolf...Long list after these.

 

[jamnw]

DLR all the way!

 

[APietru]

I'll go anywhere from classic/southern rock to some Thrash/Death Metal. It all depends on my mood at the time.

Last Brewday I started with Rebel meets Rebel, then moved to some Black Label Society, followed up by Reign in Blood by Slayer.

 

[unionrdr]

We saw Slayer with Ozzy & Priest in '04 at Ozzfest. Kerry King still kicks a$$! Even saw Pantera at the first Ozzfest. Those guys were So good live,they could turn goat wizz into gasoline!

Reminds me that I need to find some Priest! I never got into them when I was young.

 

[jfrank85]

Depends on what im brewing, sometimes i listen to ska and skank through the whole brew session. I want to brew up an inky as night imperial stout and call it My Name Is Mud after the primus song.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Usually The Slackers. On vinyl, of course.

Sometimes a dubstep mix.

I can always dig the Slackers too. Mix some of the Specials and the Skatalites in for good measure.

 

[pwndabear]

i really love listening to some dragonforce when brewing. good brew music. gets me pumped.
and some streetlight manifesto too.

 

[jfrank85]

+1 Streetlight is the best.

 

[ayoungrad]

Rush. Why? Why not?

 

[pwndabear]

oh, and rush. def +1 to that.

I mean, I only named by dog after Mega Man's dog who is named after rush, afterall... (i also love the band so it works)
